*NAAT alone vs. NAAT/EIA = (NAAT costs − NAAT/EIA costs) / (NAAT QALYs − NAAT/EIA QALYs). NAAT alone vs. GDH/EIA = (NAAT costs − GDH/EIA costs) / (NAAT QALYs − GDH/EIA QALYs). NAAT alone vs. GDH/NAAT = (NAAT costs − GDH/NAAT costs) / (NAAT QALYs − GDH/NAAT QALYs). GDH/NAAT vs. GDH/EIA = (GDH/NAAT costs − GDH/EIA costs) / (GDH/NAAT QALYs − GDH/EIA QALYs)
†Implies greater cost and less effectiveness; compared with GDH/NAAT and GDH/EIA, NAAT/EIA dominated
